Black Family - Archdeacon Close

Black Family - originating from William Black c1780 who married Isabel Kelley.

They gave birth to a JOhn Black 1813. I am wondering if he had any brothers and sisters? I went on a wild goose chase thinking that maybe James Black of Braddan 1816 (who married an Ann originating from Liverpool) was his brother - but i see from other posts that he is not.

I also have links to the families of Kelley, Kneale, Kilney, Fitzsimmons, Curphey and Brew if anyone is interested?

I have many photos of my Black descendents if that helps. They held the family seat at Archdeacon Close until John Black 1872 drank it away! The same John Black who helped to build the Laxey wheel (have photos).

William Black 1896 and Mary nee Hunter were custodians of the Castle Rushen also.

Anyone have any links? I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks Sam, Rugby, UK.
